“Three Trees”

Oil, 25 ¼”x24” $1,500

"Three Trees" is a painting that feels more like a vision coming through the artist rather than solely from them. At its core, it presents three trees—one of which is cut, symbolizing a life cut short. This element reflects the universal experience of loss, reminding us of the people we have loved and lost.

Crows, a recurring motif in the artist’s work, bring a sense of motion and boldness. For the artist, they represent the resilience and movement of the diaspora. The striking red trees serve as a tribute to Richard Mayhew, the renowned painter known for his unconventional use of color in landscapes. Mayhew, who passed away at the age of 100, left an indelible mark on the art world. Through this piece, his legacy lives on.
